Introduction And Objective: Thoracic disc calcification is a radiological finding which may be incidental or diagnosed in patients presenting with myelopathy due to spinal cord compression. We performed a study to analyze the imaging patterns of calcified thoracic discs (CTDs).
Patients And Methods: A retrospective review of the spinal and radiology database of a tertiary referral orthopedic hospital was conducted for the incidence of CTDs between 2007 and 2020.
Article Synopsis
- Outpatient lumbar decompression surgeries have been effectively performed for over 20 years in France, but there's limited documentation on outpatient instrumented lumbar surgeries and arthroplasties; this study evaluates their feasibility, efficiency, and safety.
- Conducted between September 2020 and September 2021, the study involved 40 patients aged 18-75 undergoing various lumbar procedures, with a primary goal of assessing successful same-day discharges and monitoring complications and pain management.
- Results showed a 95% success rate for same-day discharges within twelve hours, no serious complications, and a 100% patient satisfaction rate, highlighting that patient education and early pain management are key to avoiding complications and improving recovery time.
Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common surgical procedure for patients with knee osteoarthritis, often associated with postoperative pain. Effective pain management strategies are essential for improving patient outcomes and satisfaction. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of two analgesic modalities, local infiltration analgesia (LIA) and adductor canal block (ACB), in providing postoperative pain relief for patients undergoing TKA.

Globally, HCPs have accepted workplace violence as a phenomenon integral to their clinical work, causing an underreporting of incidents. This study reviews the causes and explores solutions for the phenomenon.

We investigated whether implementation of a multifaceted intervention was associated with reduced incidence of CLABSIs.
Methods: This was a prospective cohort study over nine years.
